Defenders of our mother tongue often experience: the source of many spelling errors in everyday language use - and in the media that strongly influences it - is that the speaker does not pay enough attention to the interpretation of his text. He doesn't care about this out of forgetfulness, haste or lack of knowledge. However, he does not think that it is even possible to insult him with this kind of bucks.
These mistakes often break the rules of writing together or separately.
"The bill should include a floating ticket or a floating pass ," they write on the world wide web. Just don't lose the bill! We can literally get away with a swim ticket or a swimming pass ...
"Gas fitter", "gas installation" . This is how the profession advertises itself on a website. Obviously, we are talking about professional mechanics and installation. But the spelling... In this case, it is far from professional. The correct writers, if they were to take this kind of advertisement literally, would hardly ask for it, they would not desire "gas installation", they would not claim to be a "gas fitter". the gas means 'trouble, danger' in slang (and is becoming more and more popular in public speech). The quoted separately written version therefore means 'wrongly, badly done' work, or 'armour, bridle, inconvenience, danger' worker. So come to the gas fitter for gas installation : a professional - for quality work.
" sick visitors the patient care area " on one of the websites. Is nursing sick? Are the visitors sick? No, the spelling is sick, because according to the meaning of the text, patient care , i.e. caring for patients, not the illness of nursing. And they want to fill the position not with sick visitors , but with able-bodied sick visitors .
"What else can a melon producer ?" - we read in amazement on an internet interface. Maybe a melon producer (i.e. 'stupid, stupid, fool') can't switch to anything, but the melon producer , i.e. the established farmer dealing with melon production, has his wits about him, he can "switch" to other (productive) work he can also learn from it, if the need calls for it.
None of the announcements are less surprising: " Pig, pig sale and market ". The author of the information certainly did not want to (down)qualify the crowd, so there is no question that the trader (and the buyer) would be messy or indecent, unpleasant, swearing (i.e. swearing...) at the animal market, but there is a problem with the spelling of the author. The event in question is therefore: pig sale and fair.
We frown when we read that they are looking for a " cold kitchen chef". It is obvious that they do not expect applications from workers who lack emotions (etc.), but applications from skilled workers suitable for cold kitchen Those who wrote these quoted forms could have looked up the exact spelling of these jobs, to avoid misunderstanding, the piquancy of the advertisements...
"...Then to a pediatrician !" - I read the astonishing advice on a forum. Would the doctor in question practice as an infant? Of course, that's not the case. There is a problem with the spelling. Because it is true that treatment cannot be started early enough, but here a parent recommended a pediatrician
The information detailing " garbage delivery " during . Citizens would perhaps rather garbage collection , knowing garbage ' lousy, wretched, crappy, dishonest', etc.) is hardly appreciated...
And if it's transportation, let's relive another experience: " HAZARDOUS WASTE DELIVERY " - shouts the sign clearly legible from afar on a truck. The workers in it, if they know the spelling, can't be proud... Because their vehicle advertises in capital letters: transport is dangerous. Although the waste is the shaker. Therefore, you should not be afraid of the people sitting in the car, but take note of the contents of the loading space and drive carefully. And the sign reads correctly: hazardous waste transport.
A comment from an Internet newspaper asks: if there is no evidence that excessive use of smart phones is harmful to health, then why is this topic being researched? As a layman, we can say this with certainty: smart (i.e.: reasonable, wise, logical, etc.) telephone use does not cause any harm to health. However, it really needs to be clarified: with what frequency of smartphone use , that is, the use of the multifunctional (mobile) phone - the smartphone
And if a word relationship written separately (e.g. correspondence department, used car) receives a suffix that contributes to the whole, the prefix that would otherwise be written separately is written together in the new composition, and the suffix is connected to this suffix with a hyphen, regardless of the number of syllables (based on the so-called moving rule).
To learn the tricks of making a special cake, puff pastry puff pastry making session", I read on the world wide web. Obviously, they did not want to aim at the overweight of the specialist, i.e. they should have written puff pastry maker
He also created an amusing linguistic structure, who in a job offer named the position as follows: " second-hand clothing dealer ". It is clear that they are not looking for applicants who are tired, tired (etc.), but there is a problem with the knowledge of spelling... So they expect applications from second-hand clothing dealers
